Makoto Nakamura Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 November 2023 A very good month as we do the double over FC Steaua in the Europa League but a big loss to Leverkusen sees us knocked out but at least we scored 2 goals against them. In the league we're in 2nd and need to win our game in hand to top the table and in the cup we face FC Luftetari in the Quarter Finals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 December 2023 Another great month Our defence is holding firm and our attack is working wonders as we sit 6 points clear at the halfway point with a goal difference of +32!

Makoto Nakamura Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 End of Season 2023/24 An almost perfect end to the season sees us crowned league and cup winners, going 3-0 up against Korabi with them almost snatching a 3rd goal to take it to extra time and the only downside being the loss to my old team and already relegated Burreli. All I have to do now is win the Super Cup before I can move on to Algeria!
